The School Games Organiser network and Active Derbyshire are working together to create and publish a weekly programme of activities to help support schools to assist parents and carers to maintain an active routine for children and young people whilst at home orwhen socially distancing in essential care.

The weekly activities will be themed and include golf, , orienteering, athletics, , gymnastics, , , and racket . All activities have been developed so everyone can have a go using equipment found in the home and in whatever space you have available.

Children and young people should engage in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity for an average of at least 60 minutes per day across the week. This weekly resource will give simple ideas on how to be physically active with a different sport theme for 30 minutes each day. For ideas on how to achieve the remaining 30 minutes please visit the Active Derbyshire website, or contact your local School Games Organiser by clicking ontheir logo within this resource.

This pack contains a schedule of suggested activity challenges for the week and daily activity cards. You do not have to do them in the suggested order or in fact do them all, if you really enjoy one day there is nothing stopping you doing that activity every day! However, if you do the personal challenge, we would encourage you to have a go at it each day and aim for improvement.

There will be a virtual competition each Friday, details of how to enter are shown on the schedule page and on the Friday activity card. The competition will be run at district and county level. There will be prizes for schools with the highest percentage of entries based on pupils on roll, certificates for all entrants and a prize draw after the last week for those who have entered 100% of the virtual competitions. Where permission has been granted, we may showcase entries, on the Active Derbyshire website, in our newsletter, on the Active Derbyshire Facebook, @Active Derbys Twitter account and with local media outlets. Please make sure that all activities are carried out in a safe manner.

We are very interested to receive your feedback so we can continue to do what works well but also make amendments to future weeks to ensure the resource is relevant and useful. Please send any feedback to [email protected]

There are now different codes of rugby played by males and females – union, league, , tag and . Touch, tag and wheelchair rugby are also played as mixed gender sports. Touch (Rugby) was established in 1895, when a group of clubs in Northern broke away to form a competition. Similar splits happened in and New Zealand. Rugby League is now a different sport, with fewer players and different rules.
